In the it/dial] village they learned that a solitary white man bad passed through, and a short ways out of the village he had made strange letters upon a rock.— It appeared that he created considerable alarm among the savages, but the mis sionary dwelling in their midst had calmed them, but he was then absent on a visit to the nearest government post, and would not return for some days, so that it was left to our two friends to either await the return of the missionary, or proceed and solve the mystery for themselves. They concluded to adopt the latter course. As they walked out of the village, Pinkywinky accompanied them a short distance. Harry had delicacy enough about him to walk ahead, so as not to be an eaves-dropper to the conversation of the lovers. "Ugh," ex.claimed the indian maiden, and she scratched her head with her long sleudor fingers. "Bitc—much-- hard," she declared emphatically.

J{ENItY DAY "Hold on!" interrupted• the hunter, "squat down here on the grass, I'll jest git the best of them are animals." Sire obeyed, and drawing from his pocket a fine-tooth comb, Hank went in dustriously to work. No fisherman ever angled more patiently than he, and he did not go unrewarded, as his lan_ guagc expressed expressed success in such exclamations as: "there blast ye !" "gore darn yer !" "I've fixed you!" etc., to a more-than-we have-got-rouni.for- ex tent. What more beautiful sight to gaze upon, where will you find a greater ex hibition of devotion. Ah ! "there's uo • love like true devotion !" "Pinkywinky,"said the hunter arising inv., "I must be agoin'. Old gal if ever you come this way agin why I'll call and see ye. I may get wiped out, in which case you wont be very apt to see we agiu, without you see my carcass.— Here take this, keep it to remember me," and brushing away a tear, he handed her his only fine tooth comb. It is ever thus, no sacrifice or self denial is too great for the true lover. Here on the far reaching"prairies, an uncouth hunter thus sealed his plighted troth with the indian maiden, the beau teous Piultywinky, old lliopodillock's daughter. Hurrying on with our story, we find our friends just about emerging from the prairie, and approaching a wooded country, girted by a small stream. "Look thar," exclamed the hunter, pointing in advance of them, and at the same Jnoment sheltering himself behind a tree, a precaution which Harry Fitz Maurice St Claire was not slow to fol low. "Twenty," sail the hunter after count rug them. On they came in iudian fashion, sin gle file, a party of warriors in full war paint upon the trail, led by a chief, they pressed forward in an easy trot with bodies bent forward. ':Sh'e'll take 'era in a line shot." said 1 th'ellrinter in an i;Aerttirio. Oar understood hint inte.lti rely, "Bang I" went the rifle of Hank, and as if an echo the report of Harry's im mediately followed. Mark the the effect of two shots by skillful markt-J:3lmin. Upon examination our friends found,i. that the forehemis of the whole twenty were pierced. It appeared that each killed te•n savage for in the tenth savage, !Tan7•'s bullet har7 not passed through, the head, and Barry's bullet had coinmenced its work, at the eleventh, indian and nished It at the twentieth. that the foreheads of the whole tWCIIIS3- lv.ere pierced. it appeared that each killed ten savages, for in the tenth sav ages, Efank's bullet had not passed through the head, and Harry's bullet had commenced its work at the eleventh iudian amt finished it at the twentieth. While the hunter was scalping the indiaus, Barry prepared the evening meal. No scalps hung at the belts of thein dians, and they were well satisfied the mysterious individual for who they were in search, had not been interib: • ed with by them, The next morning they resumed the march, as the were now approaching the great range of the Rocky mountains, the country became more rocky and uneven, the cabilistic paintings on the rocks be came mole frequent on either hand. "S. T. ISGO. X," what could it mean, the more they pondered the greater were they at loss. At last the enigma was solved One day when the forenoon was half spent, they came upon a man leisurely painting the mystic letters upon a rock. Upon inguriry they learned that he was employed by a firm in New York, to thus call attention to a celebrated tonic or bitters manufactured by them, which they were about to introduce in that lo cality, that after lettering every availa ble rock in every state and territory.— they secured the passage of' laws, pre venting any one profiting ');" this ex ample by "acts against defacing natural scenery." Our friends thought this pretty cute, being more effectual then a patent right or copy right. They were much disappointed when the painter informed them that be was fully as ignorant as they. in regard to the meaning of the letters and figures. He didn't know of any one that did know, it was a profound mystery. As the painter's supplies had run short• he declared his intention to return to Hiopodililock City the indian village, and await the coming of his employer's trav eling agent who usually traveled a week $2,00 PEW:, YEAR, IN ADVANCE ; $2,50 IF N. 131" .1 ) ..1 ED EN 1-3 behind the painter, thereupon the three immediately retreated their steps. As a matter of course Piukywinky was overjoyed to see Straddlefast,aud re ceive his delicate attentions with the fine-tooth comb. Thopodildock the proud and haughty chieftain, not only made them welcome, but likewise fearful inroads upon their tobacco. But a few days had passed away be fore an event occurred that was to ren der happy for life two confiding spirits. ( Hank proposed marriage, and was ac cepted by the beauteous indiau maiden, Pinkywinky, a princess in her tribe and daughter or [liopodildock the great chieftain of the powerful Dirty-cusses. The fond father fain would not part with his lovely daughter, but after due deliberation and negotiation, gave his consent in loin. of; two yards of calico, one pound of tobacco and an aged look ing wood pipe of the hunter's own. con struction. The ceremony was over, and Mr. and Mrs. Hank Smith were receiving the congratulations of their friends, when a shout without announced the arrival of a stranger, driving a large peddler's wagon drawn by four powerful horses, the en tire outfit of the establishment was ele gant, and harry bad never seen it equal ed except by the baud carriage of the cireusses. The driver was soon introduced to our friends by the painter,and iu honor of the pride, the first mentioned person,opeded several bottles of his medicine. "Both it partake in any manner of whisky,-or any other fluid that will in duce intoxication ?" inquired the mis sionary, Were allowing any of his flock to -partake In answer, the peddler produced an array of certificates from divines who made use of it and recommended it high ly. Upon this endoreement, consent was given, and all partook freely, with out restriction. The next morning there came a mes sage in search-of Ham '-ot , Oularg; the . cruel baron' of his -doyen one had relented and given their consent to the union of two fond hearts. This was entirely unexpected to our hero, and lie wept tears of joy. On arrival home, he learned, that he bait become the heir to a large estate by the decease of a miserly,forgotten aunt in_Eugland. But of course so trifling a matter as this could have had no weight in the reversed decision of the parents ia-law.

One day Harry discovered a cloud of dust upon the prairie, not more than half a mile in their rear. They were well aware that it was made by a great drove of Buffaloes, who would be down upon them in a few moments. Flee they must to remain would be certain death, escape seemed impossible, and our hero had about concluded that he never should see his dearest one, and that the heir to a fortune would be tramped to death, when it occurred to him that about fifteen miles in advance, stood two large oaks close beside a cliii. .7'here was there only safety A. sharp run of a few minutes brought them to the trees, anJ they bail but time to brace their bac - 21-.s :I;air.i.st them, the DufFaloes were unon them.

The painter horror struck at the frightful position of his companion, iutentively closed his eyes to shut out the dreadful scone.
